The Jatest gun story has reached Masterton by the last mail. It was from a lad who was always regarded as most truthful. Evidently, however, he has been rubbing shoulders with some of the Yankees. This is what he says: " Our new gun will fire a shot from New York to Berlin. It would take a Ford car a day's run to go from one end of it to the other. It is nearly as long as you can remember. When it is fired, besides lobbing a 100-ton shell on Berlin, it takes rations and munitions up the line, and on its recoil it brings back wounded and prisoners. When a shell explodes it kills 50 per cent, of the population within a radius of 50 miles, and those it doesn't kill it handcuffs. It takes 12 horses to pull the lanyard, and these are shot after each round is fired, to keep the gun a secret." Never leave your choice to others.

About the computer-generated text

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a process for automatically extracting text from scanned pages. OCR enables searching of large quantities of full-text data, but it is not 100% accurate. The level of accuracy depends on the print quality of the original newspaper and its condition at the time of microfilming. Newspapers with poor quality paper, small print, mixed fonts, multiple column layouts or damaged pages may have poor OCR accuracy.

The page where this item appears has an estimated OCR accuracy of 97.64%.
